A raft of details has been released relating to the iQOO 8 series which will be launched on August 17. According to a recent teaser poster released by Vivo, all the models in the iQOO 8 series will come with support for a 120W ultra-fast flash charging, which is a first by the company. In addition, the flagship iQOO 8 Pro will have 50W wireless flash charging and 10W reverse charging, another first for the company.
A new render released today has also provided further illumination on the iQOO 8 Pro’s beautiful white and BMW-themed sports design. The render also showed the under-display rear camera setup. Some pricing information is also available for the iQOO 8 Pro, as its price has been put at 5,299 yuan (~$818), although several key details are still lacking for the device.
iQOO debuted 120W flash charging in 2020 for its flagship iQOO 5 Pro, while this was absent in the lower models of the series. Therefore, the decision to extend 120W flash charging to all the models in the 2021 8 Series lineup is impressive. Further charging functionality is given to the 8 Pro, with 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging. The reverse wireless charging functionality makes it possible to use the iQOO 8 Pro to charge some devices under certain conditions.
The iQOO 8 Pro will come with a Snapdragon 888+ processor and a 2K resolution screen. It is still unclear at this time whether there is a global rollout for the device to other countries. Some of the fine details will become known as we inch closer to the August 17 launch date for the iQOO 8 series.
